I'm currently wintering at Tidworth, one of the garrisons on Salisbury Plain. Heres a selection of pics scrounged from the web showing images of the armys occupation in the early 1900's. The bleak Packway, the Empire Stores and Bulfords "Tin Town" high street all give an impression of the Plain as Englands internal frontier. Websites of interest:
